Caleta Mariuccia

45 45.068 S, 074 23.241 W Caleta Mariuccia

We left the anchorage at 11:30 am hoping to use the ebb tide for the passage. We were a little ahead but it worked out okay. The staysail was in and out a few times depending on where we were in Canal Pulluche. Now we are anchored at Caleta Mariuccia. We put the dingy on the foredeck, which is where we normally put it for ocean passages. Rich transferred fuel to fill up the internal tanks.

It looks like we have a weather window for Monday and Tuesday. If we can we will go all the way around the peninsula and across Golfo de Penas to Caleta Ideal (appropriate name). If we don't think the conditions are right we will stop at either Caleta Cliff or Caleta Canaveral on the peninsula and wait for conditions to improve. The distance to Caleta Cliff is 71 nautical miles. From Caleta Cliff to Caleta Ideal is 122.

I will try to send an email tomorrow. If not, don't worry, we will send one as soon as we can.

Cheers,
